Is it still necessary to call omsendin after recreating sendmail.cf via m4 (on SUSE 10.1)?
Whenever I try this I get:

MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG set to 'no' in /etc/sysconfig/mail
NOTE: /etc/sendmail.cf unchanged. Scalix lines already active.

diff shows that sendmail.cf is still intact.

You don't say which version of Scalix you're running.

In Scalix 11 we changed the way that sendmail is configured -- we now add "MAILER(scalix)dnl" to the end of the sendmail.mc (m4) file. That means that as of Scalix 11 you won't need to re-run omsendin if you've regenerated your sendmail.cf.

It's easy to check, of course, just look for "scalix" in sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc. Unless you've been tinkering yourself, the presence of that word is a good indicator that things are OK.

Sorry I missed that.
It's Scalix 11

That explains why omsendin is no longer needed.
